Pupils benefit from a curriculum that gives them access to a broad range of subjects.

Our Curriculum Intent

Our curriculum provides a BROAD range of experiences for our pupils:

Our pupils’ backgrounds, our culture and our climate for learning provide the following drivers that underpin all areas of our curriculum:

Choices– which help pupils to build aspirations and know available possibilities for their future lives; helps pupils to grow as independent learners, not dependent on adults to learn

Outdoor learning– which helps pupils to reflect and learn about themselves, each other and their environment.

The arts– which helps pupils to express themselves and develop a love for learning

Global citizenship– which helps pupils to see how they fit into the wider world and become responsible citizens

Our curriculum provides appropriate BALANCE:

We believe that all children should experience the sense of success and accomplishment in a wide range of areas. Our curriculum therefore gives pupils an excellent combination of academic and personal development. Foundation subjects are equally as important as core subjects, and key skills are woven throughout the whole curriculum. Physical and mental well-being are high priority when we consider our curriculum design.

SMSC development through our values– based curriculum also underpins all of our work and is monitored closely.

We carefully balance the requirements for our pupils to reach national expectations in core subjects with our wider curriculum aims of providing a full spectrum of meaningful experiences. As a result, our pupils thrive.
